The waiter sighed leisurely and briefly introduced the situation of the Smoke Wave Mansion, including the intertwined small forces around, especially the complaints about the inaction of the Guardian.

"Han Yu, you've fallen into the Celestial Water Nest!"

Glass, with a face like a steamed bun, rolled over with a surprised expression.

Han Yu also had a strange expression; the only larger sect mentioned by the waiter—Celestial Water Sect—was thirty miles away.

The fool mentioned by a certain cultivator, the guardian who did nothing according to the waiter, was also from the Celestial Water Sect.

Isn't this completely falling into the old lair of the Celestial Water Sect!

Could the message from my cousin back then have been a reminder about the Celestial Water Sect at the Smoke Wave Mansion?

How did he know I had encountered the Celestial Water Sect?

But it seemed I had no feud with the Celestial Water Sect! The one who committed murder was Young Master Xiao; Lu Dayou, the fat guy, can testify.

"Wasn't there also a former fiancée at the scene? It's not strange for her to sell you out afterward."

Glass commented.

"What could I possibly have to sell out?"

Han Yu pondered for a moment. It was just about beating up that no-eyed Celestial Water Sect cultivator before.

Glass rolled his eyes in his mind and said with a hint of exasperation, "How did Young Master Xiao turn the tables against the Xiao Family? With the Pill you provided. How did Young Master Xiao counter-kill in desperation? Again, with the Pill you handed him. It's equivalent to Young Master Xiao committing murder, and you handing him the knife, isn't it?"

Well, that actually makes sense.

Put it that way, it seems I'm indeed in opposition to the Celestial Water Sect, at least they unilaterally resent me.

"Do you need to sneak out of the city before the Celestial Water Sect finds out?"

Glass spoke with a mischievous smile.

Leave the city?

No way!

A sect that could be overwhelmed by a bunch of small forces might not be worth me running away.

Han Yu even felt the gap was indeed too wide. Back then, the Celestial Water Sect in Minzhou City had such a flair, not like this.

"The Southern Border is barren, the Northern Border has some sects with a bit of climate where they can swagger."

Glass said calmly in the Sea of Consciousness.

More importantly, Han Yu's strength had grown too quickly in the past two months, so fast that even the Artifact Spirit was surprised. It must have been the bottle secretly granting him some small benefits.

Whenever Glass thought of this, it gnawed at him, shouldn't the bottle be one with him? How could it be more generous to Han Yu?

Han Yu thought about it and still decided to see what the Celestial Water Sect intended to do; his cousin couldn't have reminded him for no reason, the Celestial Water Sect was probably looking for him.

——

Celestial Water Sect.

Upon hearing the news of Elder Liang's return, the Celestial Water Sect Leader Lou Yanwen hurriedly had a disciple call him to the Council Hall.

After a while, Elder Liang finally arrived slowly.

Lou Yanwen, who was sitting with a full smile at the top, froze as soon as he saw Lou Yanwen come in alone.

This was far from his expectations; he didn't expect Elder Liang to return alone, he should have at least brought back that pharmacist.

Could it be that he just robbed the medicine and killed the person?

This idiot doesn't even understand the principle of not exhausting the pond to catch the fish!

After entering, Elder Liang didn't know how to start.

How should he say this?

A Divine Gaze Realm expert, the whole Xiao Family couldn't find him, and the crucial pharmacist has been missing for over a month?

And he secretly glanced at Lou Yanwen's expression, which didn't seem very pleasant.

"Did you kill that pharmacist?"

It was Lou Yanwen who spoke first, questioning in a deep voice.

Elder Liang's face was strange, and he quickly shook his head.

Well, at least, he wasn't stupid enough to kill.

"Did you capture the person?"

Lou Yanwen asked again.

Elder Liang shook his head again.

Neither killed nor captured.

Lou Yanwen's expression instantly turned extremely gloomy, and he shouted lightly, "What have you been doing for over a month?"

Elder Liang shivered in fright and quickly opened his mouth, spilling out everything about the journey over the more than a month.

Especially the hardships of constantly traveling to various places with the group were narrated in thick ink, at least to let his Sect Leader understand, if not meritorious, there was hard work.

"On the way to finding the pharmacist, we unexpectedly discovered remnants of the Corpse Refining Lineage in the Southern Border."

This was also what Elder Liang had prepared as a draft. The Cultivator Realm was quite taboo about corpse refining; with this discovery, there might be some credit.

Who knew Lou Yanwen would immediately curse, "You, a Divine Gaze cultivator, let the Xiao Family slip away, couldn't even find a pharmacist, and the remnants of corpse refinement don't concern us at all. That's for those Major Sects, the Celestial Essence Nine Sects to concern themselves with; it was their business to eradicate the Corpse Refining Sect decades ago, what's it got to do with us."

True, even if the Corpse Refining Lineage is revived, it would trouble the Major Sects and Celestial Essence Nine Sects, not these small sects.

Elder Liang smiled bitterly under Lou Yanwen's scolding.

Lou Yanwen's chest was heaving with anger; if it weren't for the fact that the entire Celestial Water Sect could only produce nine Divine Gaze realm people, he would've dismissed Elder Liang long ago.

This incompetent fool ruined a great opportunity for the Celestial Water Sect to take off.

Heaven have mercy, during the days when Elder Liang wasn't back, he had been envisioning the sect's vigorous development and becoming a major sect.

In the end, the person returned with such news. Better if he hadn't come back and continued searching outside.

Still fuming, Lou Yanwen looked at Elder Liang, feeling anger swell up inside, "Go help Xu Yin for some time before coming back, keep those pests in check, don't let the Imperial Court cut off our sources."

To Elder Liang, this sounded like being sent away, even though it was just thirty miles away, having just come out of Smoke Wave City, he knew how messed up the situation there was.

Seeing Elder Liang's expression, Lou Yanwen gritted his teeth, instantly understanding his thoughts.

This bunch of pig-headed fools, completely beyond help; too exhausting, none can see his intentions and plans.

How could the Celestial Water Sect talk about flourishing this way?

——

Huh~ Tsk~

At midnight, Han Yu, resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Inside the Sea of Consciousness, a Pill emerged from the mouth of the bottle.

Han Yu felt a stir in his heart; it was a Pill again. Curiously, he glanced into the Sea of Consciousness.

When he looked closely, his face instantly showed astonishment.

Six Roots Purity Pill: Once ignited, the smoke can spread over a mile, cleansing the mind, eliminating all Heart Demons. Side effect: Eliminates all desires, lasting a year.

Uh... this should be forcibly converting into a Purity Pill, right?

If one inhales this, with no emotions or desires, losing all desires, it's practically more monk-like than a monk.

Is the bottle trying to stir up trouble?

If this thing accidentally falls into a crowd, how many monks would it create!

"What do you think all desires encompass?"

Han Yu couldn't help but ask the Artifact Spirit.

After thinking for a moment, Glass slowly replied.

"I guess it's any desire you can think of."

Han Yu took a deep breath, survival instinct? Appetite? Sexual desire? Thirst for knowledge...
